SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt (AP) — Questions were raised Sunday about a charter airline’s safety standards after one of its planes crashed into the Red Sea, killing 148 people. Swiss authorities said they banned Flash Airlines 14 months ago after it flunked an inspection and an Italian passenger recalled a flight when an engine burst into flames. The head of the airline said the aircraft had been in good condition before the crash. Officials suspect mechanical failure.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — There’s no question who’s No. 1 to the thousands of purple-and-gold partyers in tiger stripes who packed the Superdome and Bourbon Street. That LSU likely will have to share the national title hardly matters.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Al Harris never got a chance for a Lambeau Leap. By the time he thought about it, he was buried under an avalanche of teammates. His long dreadlocks flapping outside his helmet in the frigid wind, Harris streamed down the sideline with a 52-yard interception return in overtime. That touchdown lifted the Green Bay Packers past the Seattle Seahawks 33-27 Sunday in a first-round NFC playoff game.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Peyton Manning saw Marvin Harrison fall to the turf after a 16-yard catch and was getting ready to huddle for the next play. “All of a sudden, I see Marvin sprinting for the end zone,” Manning said. “When something like that happens, it tells you maybe it’s going to be your day.”

IRVING (AP) — To Bill Parcells, the best thing about his debut season with the Dallas Cowboys wasn’t making the playoffs, winning 10 games or having the league’s top-rated defense. It was exposing the flaws he has to fix next season.

BELTON — The Texas Tornado came in as winners of 16 straight. It took more than 60 minutes, but that streak is up to 17 now — barely. After a strong rally that included two third period goals to force overtime, the Central Texas Blackhawks came up just short.
